From Version 6.4.2r4 on, SilverFast uses a completely new descreening in order to remove any screen dots from printed images. The newly developed descreening in SilverFast is able to detect the actual screen of the image automatically. Five different descreening options are now available:

Automatic descreening

Automatic descreening (intensive)

Descreening

USM & Descreening

Automatic descreening (retain text)

"Automatic descreening", "Automatic descreening (intensive)" and "Automatic descreening (retain text)" are fully automated and are available without any further dialogues.

Descreening is always confronted with the challenge to find out which is the proper screen. Whenever trying to descreen in Photoshop customers will most likely sacrifice image details since the available filters and Photoshop's workflow are not designed specifically for a descreening process.

SilverFast's ingenious descreening uses a Fourier transformation to analyze the screen and also have the scanner select the best possible resolution for the required descreening process.

Descreening will generally cause a slight decrease in sharpness. To compensate for this loss SilverFast has an option to apply Unsharp Masking simultaneously.
